The Navel Orange Makes a Great Addition to an Edible Delight

When you're having a party or want to send just the right gift, add a navel orange to your edible delight. It doesn't matter where you are sending or delivering the basket; there is plenty of room even in Texas for a navel orange as part of an edible delight or a regular fruit basket. In fact, you can design your edible delight to go along with the various holidays and celebrations you are likely to encounter within the state. The usually mild weather than encompasses most of Texas allows for a longer season for the navel orange; the only months you cannot find local navel oranges is June, July, August and December.

When you create an edible delight you can choose the fruit you wish to use. The good part about a navel orange is its size. A navel orange ranges in size from large to extra large which makes it perfect for creating a nice size edible delight. Since you can easily remove both the peel and the sections it is easy to create just the right design with each navel orange. You can choose to use only the navel orange sections, the entire orange or include the orange peel in a variety of ways.

Adding a sectioned navel orange to an edible delight can provide a different flavor. Since a navel orange is seedless, juicy and sweet it makes a perfect addition. You can dip the sections in chocolate or another flavor, add candied grated navel orange peel or use the sections for your design. If you take the entire navel orange and shape it into a design, you can use food coloring to create the look you want for the occasion. Of course, if you purchase an edible arrangement you may have a more professional look but you will also have fewer choices in the designs and available colors.

How about taking your edible delight and making it the color of the Texas flag? Take any holiday and create an arrangement that will create just the right atmosphere whether it's a wedding, graduation, holiday or even time of year. For instance, with fall upon us you might think about using colors that are in tune with the season. While you may not think of Texas of celebrating fall, the colors are still beautiful and appropriate for both Halloween and the Thanksgiving holiday.
